too many chiefs, not enough Indians

Phrase used to claim there are too many bosses, not enough workers, but also used to lament the over-education of the "masses," who should realize their place. Usually uttered by yuppies or their parents, quite confident that no one in their circle will end up a mere "Indian."

"Ah, another fellowship program, but you can't find a good lawn man these days. Too many chiefs, not enough Indians."

Put the nut in

British expression for a head butt, in street brawls or (illegally) in boxing matches, to break a nose or open a cut. "Nut" is standard British slang for head.

When Henry Cooper, famed British boxer, learned an old foe had died, he commented: "He was a dirty bastard. He liked to put the nut in."
